Criminal justice agencies rely heavily on Records Management Systems (RMS), Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD), and Jail Management Systems (JMS) to manage daily operations. These systems generate massive amounts of Criminal Justice Information (CJI) that must be archived securely and retained in accordance with CJIS Security Policy and state/local laws. This blog explores strategies for archiving RMS, CAD, and JMS data while aligning with defensible retention schedules.
